ALEXANDRIA:
Roman Amphitheatre

Roman Amphitheatre, Alexandria, Egypt


Roman Amphitheatre, Alexandria, Egypt

The Roman Theatre is modest in size, but in excellent condition. It seated only 700-800 on its marble seats, but had room for more spectators in its crudely made galleries.
The structure deviates from the typical oval amphitheatre, being semi-circular.
The scene is surprisingly small, allowing quite limited shows being performed. Effective for theatrical performances, scaring for fights.
